I have fixed baseball. (You're welcome.)

If I was commissioner of baseball, this is how I'd iron-fistedly rule: expand MLB by one team in each league, move the Colorado Rockies to the American League instead of the Houston Astros, have four divisions in each league, and get rid of inter-league play.  Teams would play 90 games against division opponents, and 72 games against non-divisional league opponents.  Every September, there would be the potential for up to eight pennant races.  There would be no wild card.
